Thought his team selection was spot on, couple of players let him down. Win our remaining league games and the murderers won’t be lifting the league will they?Pep has dropped some fucking clangers but not tonight mate. We played the perfect game, we've just been on the end of one of those classic sucker punch knockout ties. It's so hard to comprehend.
Think we all need to sleep on it and give it a few days to settle.
With relegation you feel shit, but you go down because you deserve to over the season. You win the Prem because you're the best team. We're out because of a crazy two minutes and a deflection.You'll get the usuals banging on about relegation (but we were shit then) and intimating we're spolt. But feel the same. Thought we'd left this ineptitude behind - but it's never far away.
If it helps it annoyed the Real fans too, and we had to have it back at us for the 30 minutes while they were leaving and we were locked in.
They proper hit the jackpot this season tho. And we get big decisions go our way about as often as Haley’s comet is seenWe've had plenty of easy draws and ref decisions during Pep's era, just luck of the draw at times quite literally.
You do, like you say three times all against big teams is not a coincidence. Compare what they've done to get to the final to the dippers. Just have to hope they have one more zombie resurrection performance left in them if they need it!As gutted as we are you have to admire it.
It annoyed me when I could hear the City fans ole-ing with 5-10 minutes to go.
I respectfully disagree. We scored 5 goals over two legs. We score plenty of goals, or at least plenty enough. We lost the tie because we conceded more goals than the opposition. That is down to the fact that our defence is aging, fragile and sits in front of a keeper who is great with his feet, but has the hands and conventional goalkeeping prowess of Mary Berry.Hard to take but football happens like that sometimes. We can question the keeper, the defending in the last ten minutes or so but ultimately football can just do that to you sometimes.
What I think does stand out over the two legs is that when it matters, at the highest level, the lack of a striker has bitten us on the arse. We just never killer them off because we weren’t clinical enough in front of goal.
Tbh, that’s the most disappointing part of tonight Pep taking off our best player . Rodri was a magnificent tonight. As for Sterling that’s not peps fault, that’s down to Sterling for being utter garbage when we needed him the most.course it’s pep….. thought we were coasting took mahrez rodri off and brought a panzy on and 37 yo….. but NOT peps fault…….
I have a horrible feeling that they will do the fucking 4. Life will not be worth living and sports news will be forever fucked off............... CATASTROPHEEEEEEWe just did pretty much over two legs and still lost so I'm not so sure the scouse twats will have it all their way
